Absolute Justice

Gu Xiuqin hugged her granddaughter, who had been pitiful since childhood.

Qianqian also hugged her grandmother.

Feeling the familiar embrace,

she was very happy at this moment.

Because her grandmother was not a bad person.

The color of her soul was pure white, with only a few black spots.

However, Qianqian's next words left her grandmother stunned on the spot.

"Grandma, I can't go back. There are too many evil people in the Gu clan."

"When my cultivation is strong enough, I will purge these evildoers for the Gu clan and save my people."

Gu Xiuqin cupped her granddaughter's face in confusion, looking closely at her blank, unseeing eyes, and asked doubtfully:

"What nonsense are you talking about, silly girl?"

"Even if our clansmen are at fault, you must never call them evil to their faces."

"After you go back with me, no matter how the clan elders scold you, don't say a word. Just pretend you can't hear them. Grandma will definitely protect you."

Qianqian shook her head and said:

"Grandma, I can't go back."

"I did nothing wrong, and I shouldn't be scolded."

"I killed Gu Liangyu and Gu Qianxue. The clan will never understand me."

Gu Xiuqin's pupils dilated abruptly. She stared at her beloved granddaughter in disbelief.

She wondered if she had heard wrongly.

"Qianqian, what... what did you just say?"

"Who did you kill?"

Qianqian knew her grandmother could not accept this fact.

But her grandmother would find out sooner or later.

"I killed my younger brother and my older female cousin."

"They had become unforgivably wicked."

"I watched with my own eyes as they tortured and killed a pregnant woman."

"But I am certain that with their evil nature, they must have done many more terrible things that I don't know about."

Gu Xiuqin's mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning.

It instantly went completely blank.

She was entirely dazed.

"You are so pure and kind. How could you possibly kill your own brother and cousin?"

"Qianqian, do you even know what you're saying?"

Qianqian held her grandmother's trembling hand.

She comforted her:

"Grandma, I know this is hard to accept."

"But for the sake of the Gu clan, and for a beautiful future world, evil must be purged."

"Keeping them alive will only cause more sin and harm."

At this moment, Gu Xiuqin completely broke down.

She felt that her little granddaughter had gone completely mad.

Wei Qianqiu looked curiously into Gu Qianqian's eyes.

Hearing the conversation between grandmother and granddaughter, and recalling that Qianqian had initially told the crane that she was not a bad person,

she knew that the blind young woman before her was definitely no ordinary person.

However, she did not pay it too much mind.

She gave a slight nod to the spirit crane.

Then she turned and left.

All the Martial Saints of the Gu clan watched Wei Qianqiu's every move.

It wasn't until they saw with their own eyes that Wei Qianqiu had returned to that small courtyard

that the Gu clan members breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, behind a certain window in the Wei Group's central tower,

a pair of profound eyes observed everything that had just happened.

Feng Tengyun, whose face was usually as placid as an ancient well and completely expressionless, revealed an imperceptible smile.

He picked up a mobile phone beside him and sent another message to Mi Chuan.

"Keep a close eye on the movements in the Holy Capital. The Gu clan is about to be destroyed."

Following Wei Qianqiu's departure,

the Gu clan members also headed toward Qianqian.

But the next moment,

the spirit crane flapped its wings and flew away with Qianqian.

A few masters of light movement techniques tried to give chase.

Unfortunately, the speed gap between them and the spirit crane was simply too great.

In the blink of an eye, they were left completely in the dust.

Countless experts who had come to participate in the martial arts tournament also tilted their heads up, watching the scene that had just unfolded in the sky.

Among them was a scar-faced man wearing a mask and a baseball cap.

"I almost forgot, Senior Sister Qianqian is also a member of the Gu clan."

"In that case, I shouldn't kill any Gu clan members for now!"

"To save Senior Sister and Master from being put in a difficult position later."

Zhao Bing's thought only lasted for half a month.

At this time, he could not have imagined that half a month later, he would massacre all the Grandmaster-level participants of the Gu clan.

Gu Yang and the others escorted Gu Xiuqin back to the Wei Group's central tower.

A group of clan elders asked anxiously:

"Xiuqin, say something!"

"Why did Qianqian run away? Was she afraid we would punish her?"

"And what exactly did Wei Qianqiu say to Qianqian?"

...

Gu Xiuqin was still immersed in her granddaughter's recent words.

She simply could not accept that her little granddaughter had killed her grandson and eldest granddaughter.

Facing the barrage of questions from the surrounding clansmen,

she really didn't know what to say.

Gu Yang then asked curiously:

"Where is that kid Gu Biao?"

"Why haven't we seen him around?"

Just then,

Gu Chen reminded them:

"It's time. We should head to the Holy Capital Stadium."

"The matches for the three core cultivation levels will all begin in an hour."

Hearing that the tournament was about to start,

Gu Yang put the matter aside and simply said to Gu Xiuqin:

"Xiuqin, don't overthink things."

"Next time you see Qianqian, tell her,"

"that if she apologizes in front of the whole clan, we will forgive her."

"After all, she was too young back then to understand our good intentions."

Gu Xiuqin stood there in a daze, not replying.

Because she didn't know what to say.

Nor could she bring herself to reveal that Qianqian had killed their clansmen.

And that the ones she killed were her own brother and cousin.

As the clansmen left,

Gu Xiuqin sat on the ground, completely devastated.

As Gu Yang walked away, he spoke to the clansmen beside him:

"Later, make sure to keep a close eye on which of the clan's youths are promising talents."

"When the time comes, we'll start with the provinces around the Holy Capital and have them learn how to manage the Martial Arts Association."

"You elders just need to hold the fort; don't interfere too much."

"But you must also discipline them strictly. They cannot be allowed to degenerate like before."

...

The group walked and discussed the Gu clan's reform plans.

It was as if the Gu clan was on the verge of welcoming a bright future.

At the same time.

Inside the Liu family, a meeting was also being held.

"The people in Kunlun City have been thoroughly investigated."

"The person who dared to attack the Liu family's properties is a man named Wang Hao (different surname)."

"After our careful investigation, this person has a very good relationship with Yang Honghui, the branch president of Kunlun City."

"Moreover, this person is suspected to be that Wang Hao of the Wang family."

Hearing that it was the Wang family,

the upper echelons of the Liu family immediately burst into discussion.

"If it's the Wang family, we're in trouble. They have a Martial Saint."

"Our Liu family currently only has seven Martial Venerables; we absolutely cannot afford any losses."

"As long as one of these seven Martial Venerables can break through to become a Martial Saint, the Liu family will be able to reach the next level."

"We can't handle it, but we can report it to the Gu clan!"

...

After some discussion,

the Liu family ultimately decided to report the matter to the Gu clan and let them handle it.

The elders of the Gu clan received the report from the Liu family and immediately informed Gu Yang and the others.

This put them in a dilemma.

That day, Wang Zun's Tai Chi, performed in the realm of heaven and man as one, was still vivid in their minds.

For the sake of the Gu clan's future, Gu Yang had just released news that they would no longer pursue these people.

He wanted to turn swords into plowshares; there was no need to fight to the bitter end.

But at the thought of allowing an expert like Wang Zun to continue growing,

they found it hard to eat or sleep in peace.

Especially since the matter of sacrificing the flood dragon had been witnessed firsthand by Wang Zun and Dugu Sword Demon.

This had always been a lingering concern for Gu Yang and the others.
